- "Widescreen in multiplayer works as described above. However, many hosts enforce resolution limits. If you try to join a game with a resolution limit, you will be forced to play the game at a non-widescreen resolution (usually 640x480). If you host a game and are using a widescreen resolution, you will not have the option of enforcing a resolution limit."[1]

LAN patch (fan made)
This is a small patch that lets you play LAN on Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 (and their expansion packs) in Windows 2000 and above by changing IPX protocol to UDP. [1]
Mac/Linux emulation
- Download the game.
- Run the installer with Wine (right-click):
- Edit SUN.INI and choose whatever you want (resolution, etc)
- Open winecfg.
- On the Applications tab, click on "Add Application", and point to the GAME.exe
- On the Libraries tab, add "wsock32.dll" for the library replacements.
- Add the following tricks (from WineHQ):
- Run 'wine regedit', browse to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine. If there is no key (the stuff with folder icons) called AppDefaults, then create it. - Right-click on that key and create a new key game.exe
- Create a new subkey Direct3D. In that key create two string variables:
- DirectDrawRenderer with value opengl
- RenderTargetLockMode with value readtex
- Run the game through Wine and enjoy.[2]
